A key feature of a topcolor scenario is that it predicts the existence of the top-pions π0,±t in the low-energy spectrum. In the context of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model, we consider production of the neutral top-pion π0t associated with a high-pT photon at hadron colliders. We find that, the possible signals of a light top-pion πt with m_{t}< m_{\pi_{t}}\leq2m_{t} might be detected via the process pp\longrightarrow \pi_{t}^{0}\gamma\longrightarrow(\bar{t}c+ t\bar{c})\gamma at the LHC.
